Who will lead Democrats’ Senate majority?
Oliver Willis reports at Daily Kos that Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is weighing a challenge to Chuck Schumer for Senate Democratic leader ahead of the party's December 2026 closed-door leadership election, after Democrats' strong midterm showing. Bernie Sanders and Elissa Slotkin say they won't back another Schumer term, while Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed says he'd support Van Hollen.
